Default ideas to mount a PCB to dash plastics?

I'm looking to mount a PCB directly to the dash plastic because its cheaper than cases, but I'm not sure of a good way to do it. If any one has any ideas let me know. The PCB will have two POTS and two LEDs on it.

Screws, duct tape, or glue.

Just use a hollow standoff, one in each corner. Then self tapping screws through mounting holes in the PCB down into the dash plastic.

Or sticky backed cable tie bases, with cable ties going through the PCB mounting holes.

that first idea sounds like a winner to me. I'm searching mouser and digikey for something like you described right now.
